The star chart (PDF 196KB) can be used by families to encourage children to try different colours of fruit and vegetables at home. Children can record on it what colours they have eaten each day of the week.

An ambassador mascot, such as Larry the Rainbow Lorikeet, can go home with children for a short visit, to help share the Eat a Rainbow message with families. Larry has a simple key message - he loves to eat a rainbow of fruit and vegetables, and wants to see what fruits and vegetables the child eats at home.The experience can be recorded in Larry's Eat a Rainbow sharing book (DOC 4349KB).

Flashcards
